In an attempt to find some persuits that don't involve shopping, I've started taking the kids out several times a week to organised activities.

Yesterday, Monday, was Ladybird Library day at a local preschool. The kids read stories, do some craft and have morning tea and have an all round good time. Absolutely free- no membership or subscription at all! Talk about value for money.

Ladybird Library takes place on Monday, which means I only have the two girls and Wally with me. Tuesday is a local church's musical play morning, which costs $2 for the family and includes morning tea. The kids have a ball!
